UNICEF’s Child Photographers Capture Niger’s Youth

(Source: Huffington Post)

In Niger, a group of children assumed roles as advocacy journalists last week, taking to the streets armed with digital cameras and the objective of telling a critical narrative.

Twenty Nigerien youth, eight to 16 years old, attended a UNICEF workshop led by photographer Giacomo Pirozzi, who provided them with the skills to create photo essays depicting “children’s vulnerabilities.”

The young photojournalists focused on the developing country’s street kids, as about 43 percent of Nigerien children work as beggars, street vendors or domestic servants, UNICEF reports.

The young photojournalists told the story of malnutrition, hygiene issues and young marriage. About 61 percent of girls 15-19 years old are married to older men with 26 percent engaging in sexual intercourse by 15, according to UNICEF.

The photos were put on exhibit as part of last week’s Day of the African Child 2011.
